Basic Information (General) 2.1 Proper use These balance is used to calculate the weight of people in the private sphere. Utilisation of this balance in the medical field is not permissible. A person must stand on the weighing plate for the weighing procedure. As soon as a stable weighing value is reached the weighing value can be read.
2.4 Monitoring of Test Resources In the framework of quality assurance the measuring-related properties of the bal- ance and, if applicable, the testing weight, must be checked regularly. The responsi- ble user must define a suitable interval as well as type and scope of this test. Infor- mation is available on KERN’s home page (www.kern-sohn.com) with regard to the monitoring of balance test substances and the test weights required for this.
